Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Discussion_1

Stuart Family, conference room.

All the direct descendants of the Stuart Family were present, even the recently operated on Grandfather Stuart had rushed over in his wheelchair.

“Yo, Old Seven, is your leg okay now?”

“Hmm.”

Grandfather Stuart sat next to the conference table with a gloomy face, casually responding with a grunt.

After a while, the old patriarch and the other members of the Stuart family also arrived at the conference room.

The old patriarch glanced at Grandfather Stuart and asked with concern, “Old Seven, how is your leg?”

“It won’t kill me!”

“Impudent, how do you speak to Dad like that?”

Eldest Brother Stuart glared at him.

Grandfather Stuart snorted coldly and turned his head away.

The old patriarch glanced at him indifferently and then said to everyone, “Alright, the meeting can start now.”

Carmen Stuart reminded, “Grandpa, wait a moment, Aunt Nine hasn’t arrived yet.”

“Has Nine returned?”

“Yes, when did Nine come back? How come I didn’t know?”

Today was the Stuart Family’s monthly routine family meeting, and with a good turnout, the news of Nine’s return immediately sparked lively discussions.

Aunt Nine held an extraordinary status in the Stuart Family and was usually abroad, so her return was always an event.

The old patriarch also looked at Carmen Stuart with some surprise, “Has Old Nine come back?”

Carmen Stuart smiled and said, “No, Aunt Nine mentioned she would join the meeting via video.”

“Oh.”

The old patriarch seemed to think of something, nodded his head, then fell silent.

Grandfather Stuart raised an eyebrow and said, “Is this about the matter concerning Barry Wolfe today? Did she specifically come over for the meeting?”

Carmen Stuart frowned and said, “I’m not sure.”

“Could Nine have taken a fancy to that Barry Wolfe?”

“Don’t talk nonsense, Barry Wolfe’s character is obviously poor; how could he be worthy of our Nine?”

“If you ask me, if Nine really does like Barry Wolfe, it might be a good thing. Our Stuart Family could gain a master.”

The crowd began to discuss among themselves, and as they spoke, the topic deviated with a hint of sarcasm.

Carmen Stuart’s face turned green with anger when she heard this, but as a junior, she wasn’t in a position to retort.

At that moment, Aunt Nine’s phone call came through, asking Carmen Stuart to help connect the call.

After a while, gaps opened upon the conference table.

Subsequently, a ten-inch monitor rose in front of every seat.

There was also a camera above the monitors, with a flashing red light beside it, evidently recording everyone’s expressions.

A short while later, a young woman appeared on the screen.

A rare touch of tenderness appeared on the old patriarch’s face as he smiled and asked, “Old Nine, how are you doing over there? Are you still used to it?”

Aunt Nine was quite pretty, but her high nose bridge and the sword-like eyebrows that stood tall as if braced against the wind added a dash of heroism to her.

“I’m busy with work most of the time and don’t pay much attention to these things,” Aunt Nine answered casually.

The old patriarch expressed his concern, “Work is work, life is life; no matter how busy you are, you still have to take care of your health.”

“Dad, don’t worry, I’m not a child anymore.”

Aunt Nine replied perfunctorily, but then she became serious and said to everyone, “Is there anyone else who hasn’t arrived in the meeting room?”

You’re the latest to arrive!

Everyone couldn’t help but criticize inwardly.

“No, the meeting can start now.”

The old patriarch stated distantly, and then nodded at Eldest Brother Stuart to introduce the Stuart Family’s recent situation.

After the introduction, various questions were raised, and the old patriarch and Eldest Brother Stuart dealt with them one by one.

More than an hour later, the trivial work finally concluded.

Grandfather Stuart took the lead in causing trouble, lifting his leg that was in a cast onto the conference table with a thud.

“Dad, you tell us, what should we do about Barry Wolfe?”

No one spoke. All eyes turned to the Stuart Family patriarch.

The patriarch said nothing, his head drooped as if he had fallen asleep.

Elder Brother Stuart frowned and said, “The martial arts contest of the seven provinces is imminent. My opinion is to put this matter aside for now.

Even if we can’t gain Barry Wolfe’s assistance, we also can’t afford to make him an enemy of the Stuart Family.”

“Not make him an enemy of the Stuart Family?”

Uncle Stuart Seven scoffed and said, “Big brother, it’s not your legs that got broken, right? You’re indifferent.

My legs were broken by him. Are you telling me he’s still not an enemy of the Stuart Family?”

“That’s right. Do we have to wait until he attacks the Stuarts before we acknowledge him as an enemy?”

“Indeed, the enemy of the Stuart Family is not for the other party to dictate. If we say he’s an enemy, then he is.”

“Quiet!”

The slightly cold voice of Sister Stuart Nine came from the speakers hanging around the room.

“All of you should understand what the martial arts contest of the seven provinces means to the Stuart Family. At such a critical moment, do you really want to draw a powerful foe to the Stuarts?”

Once these words were out, everyone became temporarily speechless. They exchanged glances and fell silent.

“Then what do you suggest we do?”

Uncle Stuart Seven said with a cold voice, “Surely my broken leg can’t be for nothing?”

Sister Stuart Nine spoke indifferently, “I will return home in the next two days. After I get back, I will find Barry Wolfe once more.

It would be better if we can bring him into the Stuart camp. Even if we can’t, I will try to soothe him.

As for your leg, Uncle Seven, the family will naturally compensate.”

“Compensation?”

Uncle Stuart Seven angrily said, “Do I lack that little bit of compensation? What I want is satisfaction!”

At this moment, Naomi Milton also spoke up, “Dad, please say something.”

Elder Brother Stuart shot her a glance and said coldly, “Shut your mouth, you’ve got no say here!”

If Uncle Stuart Seven’s legs were not broken, needing someone to push his wheelchair, Naomi Milton would have no qualifications to attend this meeting at all.

Hence, when Elder Brother Stuart spoke, the expressions of the others also darkened a bit.

Naomi Milton’s face turned unsightly, but she closed her mouth nonetheless.

Elder Brother Stuart glared at her again, and then turned to look at the patriarch, saying softly, “Dad, what do you think we should do about this matter…”

“Mm.”

The patriarch seemed to wake up suddenly, lifted his head, scanned everyone, and said indifferently:

“Let’s do as Sister Nine suggested. During this period, none of you provoke Barry Wolfe. First pacify him, and we’ll talk about the rest after the martial arts contest of the seven provinces is over.”

“Dad…”

Uncle Stuart Seven called out unwillingly.

The patriarch looked at him askance, saying, “Do you have an objection?”

“I… I do not!”

With the patriarch having spoken, Uncle Stuart Seven had to swallow his discontent, no matter how unwilling he was in his heart.

He turned and looked at Naomi Milton, saying, “Alright, push me back.”

“Mm, okay.”

Naomi Milton walked over and, under everyone’s watchful eyes, pushed Uncle Stuart Seven, being the first to leave the scene.

Once the couple returned to their villa, Uncle Stuart Seven’s rage could not be contained any longer as he roared:

“A bunch of cowards! It’s just a Grandmaster, and yet such a formidable Stuart Family is cowed by a lad in his twenties!”

Naomi Milton’s older brother had died at the hands of Barry Wolfe. She was also itching for revenge. Seeing Uncle Stuart Seven in this state, she suddenly had an idea.

“Uncle Seven, I think Sister Nine and the patriarch are right. Now really isn’t the time to be making enemies for the Stuart Family.”

“What?”

Uncle Stuart Seven’s face showed stunned disbelief as he looked up, then his expression darkened, saying, “Even you are speaking for them?”

Naomi Milton smiled gently, saying, “Uncle Seven, a living Barry Wolfe is definitely a formidable foe to the Stuart Family. What if he were dead?”
